I want to share with all those who are victim of such long path files
Long path files are those files which have a path having charcters more
than the limit allowed by windows,ie approx 200
Whenever we want to change,delete,move,cut,omit,share or install such file
windows give error like file is copy write protected,it is used by some
other application or user,is blocked etc
First way is to change file name but it dont work
Second way is to delete such file by holding shift but it also dont work
Third way is to use a tool which embeds into core and resolves such long
path,there are many tools available both freeware and shareware,here are
some with their destination websites:
1.First of all is robocopy which is a tool given by microsoft for copying
and xcopying files using command line interface,this robust tool boostes
copy procedure but is leaste effective for long path files,i will rate it
1 star
2.Second one is pathlongtool available at pathlong.com,it is rated 2 star
because it has limited functionality in case of mapping and changing such
files
3.Third one is Long path support Api,this is a complex tool for advanced
users having complex accessibilities,i will rate it as 2 star,it is
avilable at file32.com
4.Fourth tool is bitchip file gear,it is a file copy gearer which cannot
map and delete long path files but is extremely useful in gearing copying
of such files,rated as 3 star.It is available at file32.com
5.The most effective and efficient is longpathtool availabe at
http://www.longpathtool.com ,it is a small,smart and quick to use
software which can be easily downloaded from its site,it has optimum
functionality and it can change,search,map from network,omit,copy,install
and delete such long path file effectively being rated as 5 star
